Rear-Engine Replacement: The Econorado is Born! – Roadkill S08E03 – Reality Car TV Show


The Mazdarati is forever gone but still in our thoughts-so much so that David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan figure they could fill its void by taking the He Hate Me ’66 Ford Econoline and make it a rear-engine monster. Maybe this one will actually run 10s. With a 500ci front-wheel-drive powertrain donated (stolen) from Dirt Every Day’s twin-engine 4×4 Eldorado, the guys truly improve everything about the rusted, worn-out, and hated Econoline-that is, except for reliability and driveability. After shortening the wheelbase and eliminating the desire to ever run a quarter-mile for fear of death, the guys bring in Steve Dulcich to help finish off the Econorado. Meanwhile Finnegan takes the Blasphemi to the NHRA Winternationals for a grudge race against Jon Chase of Hoonigan in his ’55 Chevy Gasser. In the end, there’s really only one question: If the Econorado won’t run 10s, will it do stoppies or maybe even wheelies? Check it out on this episode of Roadkill.
